4.15.9 You should also not force NPC's out of their cars just to sell them drugs as it's unrealistic and will be a bannable offense.
4.16.1 Just to let you know that using /reloadskin in game is for emergency purpose only. Example : Sometime glitch happens like when your knocked out or dead some peoples will not be able to see you. So doing /reloadskin command makes you visible again and many more ways to use this command to get out of glitches. But using this command will drop lvl 2/3 guns from your back as well as some drug items. This is also a glitch if you use this command to hide your guns or drug items from your back to hide it from police or citizens. If you abuse this glitch you will be in trouble mostly if any admin finds out checking it you will loss that item. So dont use this command to hide your guns or drug items in public. You have to keep your weapons and drug items on your back to do proper RP/ Fair RP. If you use this command to fix glitches and it drops your gun or drug items from your back then simply just bring your gun out of your inventory or if its a drug item just put it in a trunk and take it again to re-appear your gun or drug items on your back again.
4.17.1 There will be a new helicopter rule from now on. Recently we have given helicopters in EDM which a lot of peoples claimed it and using it daily. We have noticed that you guys are using the heli wrong way. A lot of peoples landing your helis mid street, in front of shops etc. which is unrealistic. So we came up with some rules to avoid these unrealistic heli usage ! Rules of what you can't do while flying a helicopter :
1. You can't land your helicopter in city at all.
2. You can't land near any stores, bank, gas pumps, houses [you get my point]
3. you can't land in any Police helipads
4. You can't store your helicopter in normal Garages.
Things you can do with your helicopter : -
1. You can land your helicopter in city but you have to land it in any normal helipads, theres a lot of normal helipads in city just find them and use them.
2. You can land your helicopter on Pillbox but you have to take permissions from EMS/ Fire departments first by calling 911 emergency. once they gives clearance to land you can land your helicopter on Pillbox helipad [Note: only for emergency]
3. In outside of city only in sandy shores area you can land your helicopter anywhere you want but you have to land it in big space. (note: you cant land your helicopter on roads)
4. If you want to go to a store in sandy shores look for a big space to land.
5. You can land in Palito Bay near beach areas
4.18.1 If your going in a situation try to record/stream that situation. Because that situation can save a lot of peoples and makes easy to explain. And if you provide us pictures we will only take action what we can see in the pictures. You cant explain a situation properly with pictures but if you cant record try getting pictures. Because 1 small detail can also solve the problem. But main thing is with no evidence. Your report will get rejected.
